French Administrative Law by L Neville Brown

Except perhaps for the Code Napol 'eon , le droit administratif may be regarded as the most notable achievement of French legal science. Its influence has been great, not only in other countries of the European Continent and beyond, but also upon the developing law of the European Community. The principal architect of French administrative law has been, and remains, the Conseil d'Etat, although assisted now at local and regional level by administrative courts of first instance and appeal. This book, now in a much expanded and completely revised fourth edition, discusses the structure, procedure and jurisdiction of the administrative courts, with particular emphasis on the Conseil d'Etat, and analyses the substantive law which they apply. In addition, an assessment is made of the influence of this law upon selected countries within the European Community and upon the law of the Community itself. The numerous appendices are an important feature of the book, providing extensive judicial statistics, model pleadings and other illustrative material. Throughout, the approach is comparative with frequent reference to administrative law and practice within the United Kingdom. This book is intended for students of French Law and Comparative Public Law; second- and third-year students.
Neville Brown has authored twelve books or major reports, including The Future of Air Power (1986). With the award-winning Future Global Challenge (1977), he began to give economic, social and ecological factors salience in the quest for a peaceable world. This thrust has continued with New Strategy Through Space (1990) through to Global Instability and Strategic Crisis (2004). His History and Climate Change, a Eurocentric Perspective (2001) reviews the last two millennia. In 1990, Professor Brown was elected a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. His latest book is Engaging the Cosmos: Astronomy, Philosophy, and Faith (SAP).
